Crazy Amigos - Give it some color

This week Crazy Amigo's theme is to use lots of color. 

Crazy Amigo challenge on September 9 was to make and use fabric paper in our art. I wasn't able to enter then, but now I have made some by layering various scraps of tissue paper and paper napkins and white glue. It is quite thick. I then cut it to size and embellished it. 

Here are a couple of twinchies I made with fabric paper.

Here is part of the sheet cut into a 4x4. I cut off more of the fabric paper and made the ATC by adding some ribbon, some sewing and an image of a doll.

I think this qualifies for: Give it some color.

Gothic Arch - Open Theme Sunday

Today's Gothic Arch has no particular theme. I have made my arch using a background of Moon Shadow Emerald. The tree stamp is by PSX, and the embossing powder on the trees, the hand-drawn flourishes, and the hand-drawn arch is Ranger Pearl Blue. The top corners also have Stampendous Kaleidoscope embossing powder. I can't remember where I got the image, which I have colored with watercolor pencils. 

SaWo - Alter Something

This is my entry for Saturday's Workout. We are to alter something. This is a mints tin I have put gesso on, added lace and shell beads, and an image to. It looks better in person than it does here. Sorry. It was lumpy so it didn't scan well. I sprayed Moon Shadow mists in several colors over the whole thing.

Theme Thursday - Numbers

The Theme Thursday challenge this week is to use numbers in our art. The first ATC uses one of the fabulous images from Retro Cafe Art, an old bingo card. The man is one of my ancestors.

The second ATC features a pair of sweeties from Retro Cafe Art and my bear stamp. Lots of people put hats on kids. I've never done it before. This time I put hats on them to hide a gigantic safety pin in the bear's hand. The background is Moon Shadow mist.

Created by Hand - Dragonflies

Some time ago I showed this dragonfly ATC. Here it is on a card I made for a friend. I placed the ATC on a blue cardstock slightly larger than it was. Then the next layer, slightly larger still, was some gold foil paper. The last layer was the navy cardstock. The background was an old watercolor from a class I took. The dragonfly is my favorite stamp and is  embossed in fine gold powder. The reeds were drawn by hand. Look at the other dragonflies for this Created by Hand challenge here.

Sunday Gothic Arches - Favorite Movies

The theme for this week's Gothic Arches is Favorite Movies. What is my favorite movie? Hm-m. I really don't know. But who can deny that the beautiful Audrey Hepburn didn't do a fantastic job in Breakfast at Tiffany's?  My 4x4 background is done with Moon Glow products - Glitz Spritz and Starburst stains. The arch is stamped with my hand cut stamp and embossed in gold flakes. Audrey came from a magazine.
